Hatton Ready To Accept Another Fight, Drop Pacquiao

[Dave Rado]

Yea, but im talking about the USA, not the UK. The question is whether he could carry a PPV in the states, im inclined to think not, the fights barring mayweather, where he was the undisputed draw, like collazo, urango, none of those fights were ppv, for a reason.

Doesn't matter, a dollar is a dollar regardless of where it's earned.

If you are making more money fighting in the Uk against Divisional rivals than you can in the states, why would you give a **** about the states?

Do you think Ricky cares that HBO aren't giving him PPV when he's selling more in the UK than all bar Oscar does back home?

by the same token do you think Pacman cares that if he doesn't fight Hatton his next fight won't be on Sky PPV?

I'm a Man Utd fan, I don't care how the D C United crowds are doing this year, and I'm pretty sure that anD C united fan doesn't care if Old trafford is full or not.

Yes and when to date, if you look at hattons fights in america barring mayweather, he doesnt make Significant (if any) PPV dollars in the US.

Hatton gives a **** about the states because thats where his biggest payday to date was, not in the UK. true?

And if he wants another payday Like that again, it seems his only option is to fight in the US again.

Since the majority of THAT came from UK PPV sales I don't see how where is relevant.

And I dont see who these 'divisonal rivals' are, that are going to make Ricky Hatton the Kind of money he made for Mayweather or the kind of money he could make for fighting the p4p no 1 again.

Unless you think Hatton vs N'dou could sell 1.5 million in the UK.

lol.

Why should he care? He's already earned around £40 million, fighting mostly nobodies, and he can still earn huge money dominating his division. Not as much per fight as against Pac, but still huge money collectively.

This sucks, just take 50 50 and lets do this.

Get over it! This fight will not happen anymore. I know for sure that Pacquiao will never back down on his stand - its a matter of pride now.

Im not talking about per fight though, and i have never doubted that Hatton can make good money without Pac.

All im saying it, Pac is most likely Hatton's only shot right now at Big paying Mega fight, but Hatton isnt Pac's sole option, because mayweather seems interested in fighting pac, so pac could have another big paying mega fight without hatton. Thus why Pac could have leverage.

However, it has been annouced some where else in the forum that pac has accepted 50/50, how sure this is, i dont know, but i do believe both side are playing hardball for more cash and a deal should happen.

Ego, not pride, pride is positive, there is nothing positive about this situation.
